Information from manufacturer website:

(With SPF 15. For all skin types.) Yes to a facial moisturizer that moonlights (or, um, daylights?) as a natural SPF. Like Mama always said, it's what's inside that counts. We start with organic carrots for powerful beta-carotene, which fights free-radicals and protects your body's cells from damage. Then we add minerals from the Dead Sea, a precious elixir that seals in vitamins and hydration. And all of this goodness comes in a product that's designed to make you feel positively amazing. Which, of course, is the best secret of all. Protects, soothes, hydrates. Organic carrot, pumpkin seed oil and zinc oxide. 26 detoxifying Dead Sea minerals. UVA/UVB protection. 97.3% natural. Invisible force field-esque. Free of petroleum and SLS. Paraben-free, naturally!

Customer Feedback:

"...is relatively chemical-free (does have fragrance in it, though, and it smells faintly of sunscreen).... somewhat heavy when applying it, and it makes my skin a bit shiny, which I don't like...."

"...lasts a long time. It also smells fantastic...."

"...was hoping for an under makeup moisturizer but it was way too greasy for me for that use...."

--Actual user comments from Drugstore.com User Reviews section

"...has a very mild lotion type smell that completely goes away after a minute. This product only improved my skin and I had no negative side effects...."

"...easy to use too much, if you use the entire amount in one "pump". You will feel like you are wearing a coating of shortening. Start with a SMALL amount and add more if needed...."

"...I did not like this product. I have used other SPF moisturizers in the past, none coated my face like this one...."

Our Final Assessment:

Yes To Carrots Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 seems to have some mixed feedback. This product is about 97% natural, and it has a rather poor safety rating with the EWG due to the Vitamin A. Vitamin A is great in some products, but has some risks for daytime use, as it has been shown to contribute to some types of cancers when exposed to sunlight, so it is a no-no in a sunscreen product. Also we don't like seeing phenoxethanol and other unpronounceables on the label of a "natural" product. Cost is pricey for a bottle this small, and many users were unhappy with the greasy feel. However, some users loved it, so we rated it as a 6 overall.
